[pde-build-dev] Headless build with CVS Fetch

["Ivan Biddles" <ivanb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

   I'm not sure if this is the correct forum, so, if it isn't, please let know which forum I should use.

 

   I have been having a problem getting a headless PDE build in which I pull the source code from CVS to work.

 

   I have followed the instructions as far as I can tell. I even found and installed the pluginbuilder plug-in (which is very good by the way) and yet things hang at the same point. When the build attempts to login to the CVS server I get an error message on the client side and a login failure at the server. (I see "cvs: login failure (for /usr/local/cvsroot) in /var/log/messages on the server).

 

   The build error is reported as:

 

(eclipse.fetch) Could not retrieve feature.xml and/or build.properties:

                      cvs exited with error code 1

(eclipse.fetch) Command line was [Executing 'cvs' with arguments:

(eclipse.fetch) '-d:pserver:ivan@lindev09:/usr/local/cvsroot'

(eclipse.fetch) '-q'

(eclipse.fetch) 'export'

(eclipse.fetch) '-r'

(eclipse.fetch) 'HEAD'

(eclipse.fetch) 'org.xxx.xxx/feature.xml'

(eclipse.fetch)

 

   If I take that exact same CVS execute string, form it into a single command-line and run it from a command prompt, the cvs checkout works perfectly.

 

   I am running on WinXP with Eclipse 3.3 and my CVS server is on a linux box.

 

   My CVS password file on the client was created at "c:\Documents and Settings\ivan\.cvspass" by Eclipse. I also created a .cvspass in \home\ivan and set the HOME environment variable to that directory.

 

   Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem is or what I should try next?

 

  Thanks, Ivan
